and Nero CD Speed.
DVD+R D/L information:
VSO software's new Media information utility -
VSO Inspector and
Nero CD Speed
from ahead software was used for gathering our
information about the inserted media, and K-Probe were used to check the recorded DVD for errors and compare the
reordered files against the original ones. The hardware used for this review
consisted of the NEC 3500A and the Pioneer DVR 108 Double layer capable drives.
As the above screenshot from
VSO Inspector shows, the Media Code/Manufacturer ID of
MKM-001-00 which is proof that it manufactured with the well proven recordable dye by
leading media manufacturer Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi are at the forefront of Double
Layer technology and these discs will be a good benchmark to compare with future
Double Layer media to be released by other manufacturers.
Nero CD Speed confirming the Media ID code:
Available burning speeds in both the Pioneer DVR 108 and NEC 3500A showed 2.4x
and 4x recording speeds available, capacity of the disc was 7.96 GB and to be classed as a good media, compatibility problems should not be present with both PC and newer standalone DVD Players.
Of utmost importance is the fact that compatibility is maintained with existing
DVD video players and DVD ROM drives. Verbatim is an active member of the DVD+RW
Alliance and this development clearly illustrates its desire and ability to work
closely with hardware manufacturers. Verbatim are acclaimed as one of the best
brands of DVD+/-R media in today's market, producing one of the most compatible
dyes around and well renowned for their quality media.
